An error appeared in the Thursday edition of the Daily Record under "What's Happening?" on page A2.

The Daily Record received false information through an email about a zone change regarding a Penrose business from the Penrose Concerned Citizens group and did not validate the information before publishing the brief.

The Daily Record regrets the mistake, and the following information is what should have been reported:

An application for zone change of a Penrose property was submitted Thursday to the Fremont County Planning and Zoning Department by WHP Crossroads, LLC, owner William Peetz of Colorado Springs. The property is located at 13760 Colo. 115, and the current land use is listed as "restaurant and community building (event center)." The proposed use is the same.

According to the application, the property currently is zoned as agricultural living, and the owner is requesting it be changed to a business zone district. The applicant states that a business zone district "allows greater business opportunities for this property that is strategically located near the intersection of two highways. The U.S. 50 corridor as a business corridor is supported in the Fremont County Master Plan."

The agenda for the commission's regular April 1 meeting has not been finalized and will not be posted at the county's website until March 19 or 20. The commission could review the application at that meeting and then make a recommendation to the Board of Fremont County Commissioners.
